Lists of Named Deanships, Chairs, and Professorships
Named faculty positions are among the University's most important tools for attracting, rewarding, and retaining top faculty in all UI colleges, departments, and programs.
The vast majority of these positions have been created through the generosity of alumni and other contributors, who are given the opportunity to name a deanship, chair, or professorship in honor or memory of a friend, colleague, family member, or organization.
Because the University and the UI Foundation are committed to honoring our donors' wishes, it's important to correctly list these faculty positions in publications, news releases, web sites, and other communications. The following lists are provided for the convenience of campus communicators. If you have questions, please contact one of the UIF staff members noted below.
- Complete list of faculty members currently holding named deanships, chairs and professorships
- List of named faculty positions funded by Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver and family or the Roy J. Carver Charitable Trust
Note: Current faculty holding these positions are also included in the complete list above.
How are these lists maintained?
These lists reflect the main database for named faculty positions at The University of Iowa and are maintained by Becky Smith at the UI Foundation, in conjunction with the UI Provost's Office.
